Voorhees College

The Voorhees College baseball program is ready to begin what is to be another exciting year for the Tigers. This will continue to be another challenging year as the Tigers look to rebuild and re-energize the Tiger spirit as it has been in the past. As the Tigers claimed a birth to the A.I.I conference Tournament last season, the quest to contend for another birth looks in the balance as the Tigers begin this season

The Tigers will be led by last year’s Pitcher of the Year, Jimmy Pirro along with Brandon Maxwell. The Tigers will have to cope with the loss of 4 award winner Arthur James who led the 2010 team in hits and batting average. James also carried home the Most Valuable Player trophy as well as the Best Defensive Player of the Year.

Accompanying the returning players will be a few new faces such as pitchers Darryl Keister and DeRickeo Cooper and infielder Brandon Beal. The program is still very young with a host of freshmen and sophomores.

The 45 game schedule, will be definitely be challenging as they look to return to post-season play in Dothan, Alabama.

In the past the program has enjoyed some great seasons that included capturing the EIAC regular season championship in 2001 and 2002. The program has also earned four EIAC tournament runner-up trophies in 1991, 1992, 1994, and 1995 and EIAC Invitational tournament champions in 2006.
